Join Laura Burke, founder and director of Laura Burke Training and Consultancy, as she shares how to thrive when you're overwhelmed. Laura will share insights on:
- What overwhelm really is and how it can impact you
- Recognising the signs of overwhelm and understanding how it shows up in behaviour and decision-making
- How to respond appropriately in the moment (rather than pushing through or burning out)
- Practical strategies to move from overwhelm to resilience and thrive sustainably
There will also be an opportunity for the audience to ask questions.
